Written by far. The reason is searching. I can use google or other
tools to find what I want. Video tutorials have no indexing. Usually
I don't want the whole tutorial, or I am trying to find a tutorial on
some specific point.

the other reason is spelling. When you see something spelled out you
can copy paste it. When you just hear it, you can easily get it
wrong.
